Read Psalm 126

126 When the LORD brought us back to Jerusalem, it was like a dream! 2 How we laughed, how we sang for joy! Then the other nations said about us, “The LORD did great things for them.” 3 Indeed he did great things for us; how happy we were!

4 LORD, make us prosperous again, just as the rain brings water back to dry riverbeds. 5 Let those who wept as they sowed their seed, gather the harvest with joy!

6 Those who wept as they went out carrying the seed will come back singing for joy, as they bring in the harvest.

Think

The vision of verses 5 and 6 is so vivid. Going out to sow seed seems like such hard work - burying bits of plant in the soil... but the hard work produces a harvest. God is faithful.

Pray

Lord help me to see the struggles of this life as the planting of seeds that will grow to bear fruit in your time.
